my tank is one of the glass front-opening small terrariums, so i think its 18" tall and 12 by 12 width. (so that sounds like the same size at yours?) i'm using the dome light fixures and a ceremic heat bulb (to keep temps up at night) along with a day light. i did end up buying a mercury vapor bulb but am only using it every other day right now, but i'm happy to switch if youve had good experience with the other light that you are talking about.
i also agree that it seems that tree frogs would benefit from some sort of small amount of UV lighting. but at the same time i'm not so full of myself that i think i'm right about everything just because it "makes sense" to me. let me know if you find any legit journal articles, but i'm going to provide the uv at least every other day and just see if i notice any differences in his overall behavior (perching locations, appetite, etc) thanks!
